Breaking away from the duo, Garbi featured on compilation albums Ta Deka Dekaria Vol 1 and Vol 2, which were followed by her debut solo album Prova. In 1992, Garbi's fourth album Tou Feggariou Anapnoes was certified gold and spawned Garbi's first commercial hit "Pes To M'Ena Fili". This led to her participating in the Eurovision Song Contest 1993 with "Ellada, Hora Tou Fotos", taking 9th place.[1] The same year Garbi began collaborating with songwriter Phoebus in a partnership that resulted in 1 gold, 1 platinum and 3 multi-platinum albums. Garbi's popularity culminated in the mid-1990s early-2000s (decade), becoming a prominent performer of the laiko-pop genre reigning at the time. The first annual music awards were materialized in Greece with the launch of the Pop Corn Music Awards; in 1997 Garbi won four awards for her album Arhizo Polemo. She was awarded album of the year and song of the year in 1999, for album Evaisthisies and its title track, respectively.
